Back from Rome, back in the saddle, and back to…Glee? Oh, for the love of–say it ain’t so?! Well, thanks to some listener feedback we are briefly sidetracked with Glee talk. Don’t blame me, blame j4runner! He brought this on us all, it’s his fault. Grab your torch and pitchfork, down with j4runner!
Ahem. As I was trying to say, this pleasant episode takes a look at Italy, tattoos, smoking, hookers, and piercings. But enough about my vacation. We also talk about the upcoming Adam Carolla show here in Portland, and the planning we as caterers are putting into it.
And for the penny pinchers out there, Captain Coupon continues the good fight this week with an offer from Yankee Candle. The deal is $10 off your purchase of $25 or more. With fall on it’s way now is a great time to get your candles ready. (Now if they only sold bath salts I’d be set.)
Speaking of fall, we get ready for our fall fashion preview with a lively discussion of clothing. Yes, capri pants, “shworts”, flip flops and more. No one knows more about fashion than two guys with stained shirts and sandals. No one.
Be sure to check out videos of the show over at Ustream, or join us live on Sundays, 9:30 PM Pacific time to watch the mayhem as it happens.
Finally let’s not forget our good friends at Mobile Marketing, LLC and their continuing contributions as well. Until next time!

Apologies, apologies, apologies. I’m very sorry for not putting out an episode last week, despite my best intentions. I was out of the country getting some sunshine. If you will forgive me, I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again… At least, not until next time.
This episode marks the very first MitchCast Mobile Edition. That’s right, we were able to come up with the technology to allow us out of the studio, and into the local McDonald’s and beyond. Of course, our lively discussion begins around the failures of the franchise and then branches out to the entire fast food kingdom.
Then, in a strange twist, I come clean with two confessions. First, I’m a jerk, and I tell you why. Second, I’m a little gay. Or, gayish. Perhaps gayesque?? Nonetheless, my closet is cleaner after this discussion.
Then, we dive into the most recent change in my life: Glee. Yes, I’ve discovered a little glee in my life and the merits of the television series as well. We not only beat this horse to death, but we bury and resurrect the thing. You won’t want to miss out. Seriously. It’s Glee.
With that, expect the normal schedule of events to proceed this Sunday on Ustream. Laters dudes.

With Shark Week finally over, we can all return to our normal routines. For us, that means putting out another quality episode. And from what I hear, we even beat out And Man Created Dog in our live Ustream of the show last Sunday. Impressive, we know. Though data indicates results may have a margin of error somewhere around 97%, but that’s just numbers!
This episode starts off with a frank discussion of my plans to leave the compan–uh, country. Yeah, that’s what it was 
In fact, you’ll be reading this and listening to the episode while I’m somewhere over the Atlantic. The power of the interwebs. But I digress (shocking, I know). Where was I? Ah, yes, my future plans for departure and the correct way to leave a company.
But who cares about that?? I certainly don’t. The main attraction this week is around diet sodas and Sean’s solid number two. Very riveting stuff. Which…leads into the real BIG announcement. You’ll have to listen to find out more, but let’s just say it involves our good friends over at The Adam Carolla Show. ‘Nuff said.
With the BIG announcement we also issue the call to you dear listener for some real input. A way to make a difference. To let your voice be heard. We’ve teamed up once again with our friends over at Mobile Marketing and together we can all make a difference. Or not. It’s a crap shoot really.
And let’s not forget Captain Coupon’s deal of the week. He pulls through as usual so many thanks to him and his minions. And that’s about it for now. Until next week!

Chock full o’ nuts and bursting at the seams, this week’s episode has something for everyone!! Well, not really. It just sounded like a catchy way to start off. In fact, my mother’s visit tops off the discussion as it has put a slight cramp in my style so to speak. Not to worry Mom, I love you and as long as you stay on the right side of the law, you’re okay with me. And Officer Mannequin.
Love or hate the cops, you’re certain to be thankful for Captain Coupon and his Deal of the Week! That’s correct, this week he fights high prices by bringing us the “2 FOR $5″ deal at Cold Stone Creamery. With this coupon you can enjoy two Like It™ size ice creams for $5 (ice cream + one mix-in). Simply click, print, and enjoy, courtesy of Captain Coupon!
With my recent confession of my fear of dying alone, Sean and I delve into some of the common phobias and how we fare. Let’s just say that while not afraid of heights, we both have some very profound and deep respect for them! And I’ll leave it at that.
This week we also successfully streamed live on Ustream. Thanks to everyone who tuned in and contributed. Visit Ustream to check us out live most Sunday nights at 9:30 Pacific or catch up on previous episodes. You’ll get to see The Cast and I sweat off about 4 pounds during the 90 minutes or so of heatlamp induced stroke. It’s fun for the whole family.
Take care and tell a friend about the show. And then write that friendship off

Special guest this week? You, lucky listener! That’s right, we streamed live on Ustream–again. Thanks to all the listeners who showed up in the chat room. We had a good time and we’ll only get better! (‘Cause hey, it couldn’t get any worse. Am I right??)
For those who missed it, and there were many, this week’s episode starts off with what I’m calling a “TSA PSA”, in honor of my wife and kids leaving for Italy. What does this mean for you? Why a chance to test your knowledge of prohibited items aboard your next flight. This of course turns into a conversation about how I would take over a plane with No. 2 pencils, CO2 cartridges, and 7 inch screwdrivers. Look for me on the “no fly” list!
Sean then catches us up on the San Diego Comic Con. Don’t worry though, we keep it light and your ears shouldn’t glaze up. In fact, you can help us raise the money necessary to send The MitchCast there next year, as we announce the first ever MitchCast Telethon! We’re just $214 shy of our goal of $214. And for just $214 you can get an official MitchCast coffee mug, not available anywhere else.
We wrap this baby up with an 80′s movie run down, thanks to my recent viewing of “Sixteen Candles”. John Hughes, you will be missed. And that’s all she wrote. Until next time!!

Special guest Matt Hatch of Theoryland joins us to discuss one of his passions: The Wheel of Time. If you’ve not heard of the epic fantasy series, then hopefully this will wet your whistle just enough to learn a little more. I’m told, if you like Tolkien, then this is for you. If anything, you can at least get a glimpse into the mind of the man behind a successful website built the old fashioned way: lots of time and energy.
Fear not my geek-averse friends, there is still other subjects to be had! Indeed, we regale you with our journey to the cinema to see “Inception“, Christopher Nolan‘s latest screen gem. Spoiler-ish alert, but not quite. Once you see the film you realize that there’s no real spoilers, only excellent discussion to follow. Then maybe an additional trip to the cinema. And perhaps a bump…
Also new this week, we streamed live on Ustream and you can watch the podcast here! Yes, it took a little more effort, but you my good listener, are worth it, every inch of extra cable.
All that, and this is  your last chance to pick up a pair of Portland Timbers tickets, thanks to the fine folks at Mobile Marketing.

This week we welcome the talented and lovely Scott Rogers to the show. (Well, at least lovely.) That’s right, when he’s not busy performing at Curious Comedy, or doing stand-up as Sasquatch for 30 Hour Day, or making cheese in his bathtub, or raising funds for A Bawdy Tale, or taking pictures of his cat, he’s thinking of reasons not to be on The MitchCast. Fortunately for us, he didn’t think hard enough!
Tune in to this very special episode to learn more about Scott and the art of funny. And, as an added bonus, Scott also treats us to his recipe for the perfect baked egg. But you’ll need some ramikens if you plan to try this at home. And if you don’t know what a ramiken is, you’ll need to get a job at Chili’s. And if you don’t know what Chili’s is, shame on you!!
More tickets to giveaway as well, thanks again to Mobile Marketing. Tune in, turn it up, and tone it down!

For the first time in my life I get a sincere apology from the United States Postal Service. Sure, it’s printed on the outside of a plastic bag containing the remnants of what was once a piece of mail, but still, I’ll take it! I’m just glad they chose a Performance Bike mailer to practice skeet shooting with and not my “gentlemen’s monthly”.
As some of you may already know, the birth of our nation also coincides with the birth of my wife. (At least the day and month part.) The only thing I hate more than my own birthday is other people’s birthdays, and I tell you why in this episode, as I sing the gift buying blues. (Sorry honey!)
Don’t forget to text ‘mitch’ to 27299 and be entered to win a pair of Portland Timbers tickets. Winners will be announced next episode, so text early and often! Thanks again to Mobile Marketing, LLC. Enjoy!

Merry-go-rounds are becoming a rarity nowadays (along with diving boards). So while mom was out of town running her half marathon, I manage to take the kids to a few parks with merry-go-rounds and prove within minutes why I shouldn’t be allowed to parent! But I blame the lack of merry-go-rounds in our society for the lifelong damage I have done to two of the kids.
And, continuing my rant, I make my way to the public pool with my issues. I say, where have all the diving boards gone?!? How as a country can we expect to produce another Greg Louganis if the biggest thing to dive off of is the edge?? Oh, and NO DIVING off the edge! Crimony people, thanks for screwing up my kids worse than I can.
Not so fast. We don’t want to leave our discussion short without talking about parenting and the Helicopters versus the laissez-fairers. How many more Abby Sunderlands do we need before we step up and start to call some people out?!
And finally, listen in to see how you can win a pair of tickets to see the Portland Timbers! Thanks to Kevin and Mobile Marketing, LLC for providing the tickets. We look forward to future contests and giveaways so keep tuning in!

Happy Father’s Day, everyone! What better way to celebrate than to bring on an expert on dads. We get down to brass tacks and review my current performance in the role of father and what areas I need to improve upon. Also, we take time to review Pixar’s latest gem, Toy Story 3.
This episode is different, and we certainly hope you’ll enjoy this break from the regular show and take time to reflect on the dads in your life. Thanks again for listening and keep the feedback coming!
